Malaysia’s Favorite Sport.

It was 11.30pm night in a bustling bus station of Johor Bharu, Malaysia . Neon lights with rays of amber illuminating the lively streets of Johor Bharu. And so were people . They’re not fading away as the greatest tournament of the night was just going to get started. It’s happening every night .Me and my friend were determined for the game, as being true-blooded Malaysian, and geared up for Malaysia’s Favorite Sport. So we took a cab to Desaru Beach and cheapskate enough to haggle the price.

Fact No.1: Malaysian loves to haggle, even if its worth 50 cents.

No problem in that, everyone knew a bit of a price cut makes everybody less depressive to move on with their lives. Like a universally acknowledged fact, we learn it from our best teacher; our parents. As we walk out of the cab into the hawker’s stalls by the beach, English Premier League was just going to get started. We choosed the best spot at the tournament; in front of the television.

Fact No.2: Malaysian loves football, I mean watching it.

We ordered a steamboat meal with prawns, crabs, meatloaf, fish, and broccolis. Boiled to perfection and dipped with sugary peanut butter, nothing could go wrong. So we started playing the best Malaysian Sport ever created - we eat. Same goes for the rest of 252 people by that Desaru Beach.

Fact No.3: Malaysia’s Favorite Sport is eating.

Ive got so much more to learn and Im ready to be the sponge of the world!. Im willing to stay hungry, and stay foolish.
